It says min. order qty is 4, so hopefully they honor that price for the whole set, worth the wait if it's not too long :)

That is a great deal. Want to take a set of 37s off me that only have 91 miles on them so I can upsize? :LOL:

If you can get me a "killer deal" on a re-gear :)
Parts aren’t expensive. And you’re more than capable to perform the labor!

I was out and about today and near a major driveshaft, gear, and transmission shop in Houston. I figured I’d stop in to see if “buying local” would cost less than a new driveshaft from Adams or Tom Wood’s. About $750. OK...

So I ask what’s a ballpark cost to regear to a JL Rubicon with 8 speed auto to 4.88 or 5.13 gears since I now have 37” tires. Without missing a beat the guy asks why I’d want to gear my Jeep like that. Huh? He says with a straight face that if I regear to 4.88 I’d be running at almost 4000 RPM at 70 mph.

I said thanks and left. This is not the shop for me.

Tried to add them to the cart but it will not let you add them to the cart because not enough in stock.
crazy good deal though. I wonder if Discount Tire will match the price. I know they usually can beat the price anytime I have asked them to match But this is already a killer deal.

Apparently he missed the part regarding the 8 speed auto!

You made the right decision!

I made sure to stress that. I even told him specifically that it’s a JL that has the ZF 8 speed automatic transmission, not a manual transmission and not a JK automatic transmission. He stood by his ignorance.

Better to learn now and avoid the shop altogether than to leave my Jeep with them for the 3 or 4 days it takes them to install a set of gears.

Jeeps lots of jeeps
Interesting. Listed as clearance. I wonder if they are coming out with an STT Pro replacement.
